Episode 41: What’s the Deal with Vaginal Washes?
Joy Noble • May 28, 2024
Welcome to Pints & Pelvic Floors: The Podcast.
In Episode 41 we do a quick dive into vaginal washes and why you DO NOT need them!
Tl;dl (too long; didn’t listen)
- I mean honestly this episode is like 5 minutes so it’s not too long to listen!
- Main takeaway: you do not need any fancy vaginal/vulvar washes - the vagina is self-cleaning, the most you really need is water!
- Sweat and hair and scents and smells are a normal part of having a body
- If you need to wash with something, wash the external vulva only, with a mild softsoap
- Avoid fragrances, scrubbing beads, glitters, sprays, or anything targeting you to make you more appealing ‘down there’

Recently a local provider slid into my DM’s to chat about a letter she received from her insurance boasting “no-cost digital pelvic PT” and her response is exactly the same as mine: WTF?
Okay so you read the books, took the classes, and followed the Instagrammers to get ready for labor and delivery. But did any of them talk about healing after c-section?
Listen, I have treated patients for pelvic floor concerns for over 11 years now so I have seen and heard A LOT!
